Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hospitalized; Breaks 3 Ribs During Fall

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was hospitalized after breaking 3 ribs during a bad fall in her office at the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

Ginsburg, 85, fractured three ribs on her left side. She was admitted to a hospital for observation.

The court issued a statement on Thursday morning, saying Ms. Ginsburg fell in her office and went home to rest. But she experienced discomfort overnight and went to George Washington University Hospital on Thursday morning.

This is not the first time Ginsburg has broken ribs during a fall. She also broke 2 ribs in June 2012, but did not disclose her injury to the public.

Ginsburg is the oldest justice on the Supreme Court and the second of four women to serve on the court.

Her ongoing health issues are a cause of concern for her supporters who fear that President Trump will soon have another seat to fill on the Supreme Court.

Worried Ginsburg supporters took to social media to offer their ribs and other internal organs to keep her alive until Trump leaves office in 6 years.

In July, President Trump appointed Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. But his confirmation was delayed by the Democrats who claimed Kavanaugh assaulted multiple women while he was a teenager in high school.

Call me Judge G if you need a rib. It makes your waist smaller I heard supposedly allegedly. You can have it. or maybe even two. Lemme know. I also have an extra kidney. My dad lived just fine from 1984 til 2016 with just one. And that is not what took him out. That kidney was still working skrong.

Call me! Whatever I need to do for us to avoid another Kavanaugh

Trump has been waiting for this. He's salivating. He even said he wished Sotomayer and Ruth would die an early death. Get ready for another Supremes appointment.

Li-Wright

He did express that he wished she and Sotomayer would die an early death. Google it.

This is why people wanted her to set aside pride, and retire while Obama was still in office.

Eileen

EMILY POST

Wow hope she feels better but it might be time to step down. If they stepped down when age appropriate. No need to be disrespectful to the woman and I support President Trump.

Lady_Elle

Who pushed you Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg?
SCOTUS is starting to be a dangerous job!
The last one that passed... (cause of death was questionable at best)!

She's a tough old bird who beat cancer twice. May she live to be 120 as a private citizen, not as a SC justice. Have you heard her speak lately? Her speech is slow and inaudible. She can't even fully hold her head up. It's time to retire. She's delaying the inevitable - Trump will appoint a 3rd SC justice.

Dun Dilly

LOL

Skylar1

OMG dummy trump may have another appointment.

Alextra Ballard

Laaaawwwd No!!

Vonn

Get well soon Ruth. She looks like Stephen Hawking in this pic.

Bless her heart. She'll retire soon. Our President will get another conservative on the Court. Yeah!
